Intl Football 137 day(s) agoIs England moving in the right direction? That is a question that might be crossing every English fans minds. And indeed deservedly so. They have not won a major trophy since 1966 while producing one great player after another. And the current team might be possibly one of the best as far as talent is concerned. So why is it that they have not won a major trophy since so long ago and more importantly how did they manage to fail to qualify for the Euro 2008. There is no simple answer to this....
Sure, I could sit here and write all day about these being the most memorable Olympic games in recent history. I could talk about all the records set and all the long shots that overcame obstacles to win against all odds. I could talk about the pride one gets in seeing a fellow American prove he or she is the best in the world. I could talk about anything sports-related about these Olympic games.
I could … but I won’t.
I would rather talk about how funny it is to...

Champ League 124 day(s) agoBorn Ronaldo Luis Nazário de Lima, but known simply as Ronaldo. He is set to go down in history as one of the games best ever players. Having won accolades where ever he played including three player FIFA Player of the Year Awards (1996, 1997, 2002) he is still able to play with skill and knows how to find the back of the net.
Ronaldo has helped almost every club he played for achieve championship results. In a strange twist, he has never played in Championship Cup match. The...

While the U.S. basketball team is stealing all the headlines -- they even have a catchy nickname, "The Redeem Team" -- there's another American squad that's out for redemption in Beijing. The USA baseball team. While the basketball squad was simply knocked off the top, the baseball team completely bottomed out. They failed to even qualify for the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens. Fast forward four years and the Americans are not only back in the games, but they'll be facing the vaunted...
Team USA continues to roll on through the competition in Beijing and so I just feel compelled to write about it. Actually I’m just getting ready to watch the latest game on my DVR and figured that I’d throw out some thoughts on it. Oh, and by the way, my name is Andy York. This is a new blog here(new site, right?) and I promise it’s going to be about the NBA and then the NBA some more. So, now that all the introductions have been made, let’s talk...

What if Cliff Lee would’ve been this dominant last season? I think it would be a safe bet the Cleveland Indians would be the defending World Series champion. Lee is a virtual lock to win the American League Cy Young Award this season, although some believe Los Angeles Angels closer Francisco Rodriguez deserves the award. Lee leads the league in both wins (18) and ERA (2.43) while ranking third in WHIP (1.08). Last season, however, Lee battled injuries while Cleveland was on its...

One of the most overlooked aspects about successfully drafting a fantasy football team is staying up to date with the latest player news. Sure, you've got your magazine and the draft guide you downloaded, but that's old info you're working with. You don't want to draft Steve Smith and Brandon Marshall as your starting wide receivers only to find out both are suspended for the first few games.
This is a very popular weekend for fantasy football drafts. In fact, my draft will be...
Well, dear readers, we’ve gotten one round further than we did in Athens! Of course, by “we” I mean the US. I don’t want to offend my foreign readers out there. I just want you to know that I have nothing but love for you. It’s just your basketball team’s suck… Sorry. Just kidding…
Anyway, the point is that Team USA is just one win away from reclaiming what many of us feel is their rightful place in the world of basketball....

The New York Giants and San Diego Chargers both took a potentially crippling blow to their Super Bowl hopes this season. The Giants’ Pro Bowl defensive end Osi Umenyiora suffered a torn lateral meniscus in his left knee. He is expected to miss the entire 2008 season. Umenyiroa led the Super Bowl champion G-Men with 13 sacks last season, and recorded 14.5 sacks in 2005. This injury and the retirement of Michael Strahan has left the Giants, a team known for it’s defense, paper...

NCAA Football 133 day(s) ago
It's late August and college football is in the air.
After a crazy 2007 season in which 20 top-10 teams fell to unranked opponents and seven No. 2-ranked teams lost, the bar has been set high for 2008. I'm not quite as fearless as some prognosticators, so I'll pass on making any national championship or Heisman predictions. Instead, I've picked some teams currently unranked who have a great chance at finishing the season inside the top 25. Here's the AP Poll heading into the season:...
